Vincent's on Camelback |

|
3930 E Camelback Rd, Phoenix 85018 • 602-224-0225 |
|
|
| |
Description:
PHOENIX. Consistently rated one of the top restaurants in the area, Vincent Guerithault garners both popular and critical acclaim. The chef's French heritage, coupled with his penchant for earthy Southwestern ingredients, establishes a new standard in cuisine. The inspired menu is highly rated, featuring perfectly prepared dishes like smoked salmon quesadillas, duck confit, wild boar, rack of lamb, and sweetbreads. Grilled meats and seafood are also impeccably done. As a complement to a fantastic meal, make sure you sample the absolutely sinful desserts. Crème brûlée receives regular accolades, but souffles are decadent as well, as is the home-churned ice cream. Great for special occasions or business lunches. |
